Don't think I've ever seen one of these guys before. An unusual looking little fellow for sure. Are they a marsupial like a kangaroo? Cute little guy and thanks for sharing him or her with us!

Thanks David, they are pretty shy little things and often mistaken for rats in the wild they are a marsupial like the kangaroo. Cheers Mary

Oh, cute. You have perfect focus and wonderful detail on this little guy. Wouldn't have known it was in a zoo unless you had said so. Thanks for sharing a little about this little animal.

A very cute little one that you have well focused and framed with a bit of green to add color. Bet they are kind of fun to see.
